Abstract

The copper-plated veneers made in short process pretreated with NaBH4 are used as the test pieces to measure and analyze the color and glossiness of electroless copper-plated birch and fraxinus mandschurica veneers before and after the coating with the spectral colorimeter and the digital glossmeter so as to provide reference and guidance for the practical design, processing and application of the materials. In the Munsell color system, the colors of the two sorts of copper-plated veneers are respectively marked as 9.8R6.2/9.8 and 9.7R5.9/9.5, with their GZL to be 4.75? and 3.44? and GZT 3.35? and 2.56?, separately. The surface color of the copper-plated veneers is orange red featuring a high degree of saturation and low lightness. After coating, the color tends to be darker red which can arouse the visual psychological perceptions of warmth, luxury and dignity etc; the surface of the veneers boasts unique optical characteristics and copper plating and coating lower the surface glossiness of the veneers and enhance the visual psychological perceptions of reservation, dignity and elegance etc.
